Hiding STD's

A male friend of ours just told us that he was diagnosed with genital warts when he was in college. He had them burnt or frozen off and they never returned, it has been 15 years and none ever came back. I was curious and asked how he tells his sexual partners about his disease since GW can not be cured. Surprise surprise...he doesn't tell anyone! He didn't even tell his ex-wife! They were married for 5 years and she still doesn't know. How the He!! Do you not tell your spouse you have an STD? He insists since he hasn't had an outbreak that he is cured and has no intention of ever telling and of his future sexual partners. People like this make me sick! But it's alright for him to share the news with us? I know this topic is brought up often so you are welcome to take it as a rant and move on.

I think all people who know they have an STD and do not tell their sexual partners should be jailed and forced to pay restitution. I don't care if the disease is incurable or curable. They are knowingly risking someone else's health, and that is unacceptable.

I think anyone who has an std should be open and honest about that before sex ever occurs. My husband and I even had a conversation about any curable stds that might have been treated and cleared up. I got chlamydia once from a cheating ex boyfriend, took two pills and its completely cured but I still mentioned it.

Can't herpes still be passed even when not having an active outbreak? I don't know much about genital warts.

So weird I am going through this right now I just found out my ex has hpv and NEVER told me when we had the sex, std, past partners talks. He actually told me he was tested and was clean. Now I'm going for another round of std tests. They tested me when I got pregnant but after losing the baby at 30wks (this may) I slept with him still, unprotected. I'm pissed bc hpv can lead to really bad issues for our newborn after a vaginal delivery! Forget about how it affects me. How about how it affects your daughter?! Scumbag.

I know in some states it's a crime to knowingly give someone HIV, I don't know if it's all diseases or not. I think you're(general)a piece of crap if you sleep around with a disease. The scary part, is many people are walking around asymptotically. I always stay if DH died I'd boil someone before sleeping with them!

I hope I don't have this all backwards but it was my understanding that someone who tests positive for HPV can also have it test negative too. Now I'm not sure if it can just go away, if your body can fight it off, if it can test negative and then positive a month later but I do know I have 2 friends who have tested positive for HPV never got warts and no longer test positive for it.????? Is it possible to just go away??

There are over 40 different strains.According to the cdc "The types of HPV that can cause genital warts are not the same as the types that can cause cancers. There is no way to know which people who get HPV will go on to develop cancer or other health problems."

I had the precancerous cells.

Also HPV can cause warts but not herpes. Again from the CDC "HPV is not the same as herpes or HIV (the virus that causes AIDS). These are all viruses that can be passed on during sex, but they cause different symptoms and health problems.".

HPV and Herpes can be passed by skin to skin contact. You dont have to have an active outbreak. As pp already said there are many different strains of HPV and surprisingly many people have HPV and dont know it. They are simply carriers. However, to go around knowing you have an std and not tell your partners is totally wrong, ecspecially becuase of the fact that even if you use a condom you can still get herpes or HPV.

Genital warts are caused by HPV (human papilloma virus). Most people who have HPV don't know they have HPV. I guarentee there are several people reading this post right now who have HPV but dont know it. It doesn't always cause warts. It is the leading cause of cervical cancer
